In terms of PvP this is even better than the Nexus Key http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29988 (drops from Kael). 3 +12 stam gems would give you 94 stam, 18 more than the Nexus Key.

In terms of PvE, anyone who can get an epic mainhand/offhand combo is probably better off, though the ability to get some hit through gems may sway people to this weapon.

84 or 94? hmmm

Kommentar von Yorii

I have no idea how you counted, but three +12 sta gems and this gives you 94 stamina, the Nexus gives you 76, that's a difference of 14 stamina.

Kommentar von largemanBB

Thanks, the 94 was a typo... though it seems neither of us can Subtract, its difference of 18 stam, not 14 or 12. Lol

According to mmo-champion, it drops in zul'aman

The hell it is. For PvE, the season 2 arena staff is better than the Nexus Key, and this staff is noticeably better than the S2 arena one (it doesn't have resil, which is a rather useless stat for caster dps, and has 3 sockets). This, imo, is now the best caster staff pre-Illidan.

this item is recieved by doing the timed event, if you kill 1 one of the bosses in time, you'll free one NPC, that NPC wil open a chest that can hold one of the several items (like this one) that can most likely only be recieved by doing the timed event.

I have no idea how you counted, but I've come to the conclusion that you're retarded. Use a calculator next time. 94-76 = 18

Well it could be the highest intellect staff in game for mage evocation in 2.3.

With 8 int gems and enchant, it is 101 int.

If your original weapon gives you 41 int, the extra 60 int could give you roughly 60*0.6*15= 540 (652 for talented gnome)extra mana in evocation.

However I believe you wont get extra mana from the first tick if you swap the weapon in combat with script like

/cast evocation/equip XXX

and also you lose 1.5 sec gcd when you switch back the original weapon.

Staff swapping may not be necessary after 2.3 even you have the highest int staff in game.

Kommentar von diag

switching weapon in combat gives you 1.5 sec cdyou cant cast evocation after that... are you a mage?

I've seen posts above in regards to pvp , pve items . I have to say that still seeing this staff I wouldn't change it from the Merciless staff ...+hit and more + crit and even more spell dmg that you have to socket it to get it so it's such a small improvement . But for Pve players that Hate pvp it's a "go for it ! " item imho :)

Im no expert on hunters, but wouldnt this spell damage be AWESOME for arcane shot- and the spell crit would mean arcane shot would CRIT MORE. and how COOL would it be to have such a cool staff while i hop around being all hunter like running from everything and shooting at a distance while my brain slides out of my nose, being a hunter is hard it takes skill.

Kommentar von Soulfly

Changing weapons does cause a 1.5 sec GCD for casters. I used to get it when equipping the weapons during the Kael'thas fight but I fixed that by making a macro to equip the weapon after casting a spell so the GCD would not have any effect. I also get it when I stupidly forget to disable oh noes! for closetgnome (unequips weapons when you drop below a certain amount of health) on High Warlord Naj'entus. Anyways this doesn't have much to do with this item, which is indeed the highest INT weapon in the game when enchanted and gemmed. Way to make spirit worthless for mages once again blizzard!

Kommentar von KDaigoro

You're absolutely correct. Swapping weapons does not set off a 1.5s global cooldown bringing Evocation to 9.5s.

It initiates two, two-second global cooldowns (one before you evocate and one swapping back to normal weapons) bringing the pre-2.3 weapon-swapping Evocation to twelve seconds if you are in combat. Swapping weapons only initiates the two second global cooldown when you're in combat.

Droped for us 12/4 from the Eagle boss in ZA from the Timed event chest

237 damage is 24 more than 203, not 14.

Kommentar von drukkenbolt

With epic gems on it, this staff is really nice!

Kommentar von Nagassh

This staff, with 3x +12 spell damage gems gives only 1 point less damage than the Mindblade + Orb of the Soul-Eater combo, but has higher crit, stats and the damage applies to all schools of magic.

If you're prepared to spend some cash this is a worthwhile upgrade from the blade / orb.

Kommentar von jonaslucas123

it's a very very good weapon to mage/warloc or healers. if u wanna crit more then u should get this damn wepon i have crited with this wepon 100 times dude get it!

Kommentar von dnflc

The sockets on this item make it one hell of a staff that you should roll "need" for. Filled with some nice gems you won't need another staff for a good period.

Kommentar von EviLFoX

The best weapon for stamina set. (Eredar tanking etc.)58stam on staff plus 45(15*3)stam from gems give you 103 stamina only from weapon.

Kommentar von annerajb

would this be useful for tanking leotheras i started doing ssc recently and other t6 instances but i personally never tanked him and was thinking if the amount of stamina provided is good for it or would i favor another weapon set like MH + OH

Kommentar von jtunis

I can't believe this staff is no longer obtainable. This, along with Staff of Dark Mending, was perhaps the most fascinating and unique looking tribal staff in WoW.
